Revenue rose by 9.3% as compared to the previous year, mainly due to the increase in IT managed and operational services by 21%, digital services by 8.1%, and core ICT services by 3.2%.
The increase in net profit for 2024 was attributed to higher gross profit and revenue, offset by an increase in cost of revenue.
Operating expenses dropped by SAR 88 million triggered by lower selling and distribution expenses, despite an increase in general and administration expenses.
Lower Zakat and tax charges was due to Zakat provision reversal related to prior periods after ZATCA assessment.
On the other hand, the company recorded other expenses at SAR 19 million as compared to income of SAR 18 million mainly due to year-on-year lower finance income by SAR 31 million.
